Lyrics

Custodian
Forever guarding this weightless stone
We'll defend ourselves from chaos until we're numb
Until these walls eventually fall apart
Forever caught in this long march
In which we no longer remember when we've embarked
Pushing these boulders up and down a thin slope
We ended up forgetting what we were meant to protect
Many as one
A failed Leviathan
One as many
Inhabited by the ghosts of the dead and the unborn
We embody the rift that divides us all
This void is the only thing we'll ever safeguard
To keep away the trauma
We'll forge the myths that preserve our identities
Ever changing and ever refracting in such fragile society
We'll forge the myths that preserve our identities
Unable to be silent
In word we shall find our blessing and our curse
Circling on the edge of an unspoken urge
We've come to love what keeps us apart
Custodian
We embody the rift that divides us all
This void is the only thing we'll ever safeguard
We've come to love what keeps us apart
This void is the only thing we'll ever know of
